In January, Allied Solutions, a Carmel-based provider and distributor of insurance, lending and marketing products to financial institutions across the country, announced a major expansion and relocation of its corporate headquarters – a $32.9 million project that will include the construction of a new, five-story building in the rapidly developing Midtown area and a plan to more than double its size in Carmel, adding more than 600 jobs by 2025.

In April, real estate firm F.C. Tucker Company announced it would relocate its Carmel headquarters to this building, signing a lease agreement with Old Town Development to occupy 15,000 square feet of the ground level of the new headquarters.

The new office space will house all of the Carmel office’s operations as well as a new mortgage center. Currently, 150 real-estate associates work at the Carmel office, and the move to Midtown will allow F.C. Tucker to accommodate approximately 30 percent more associates than its current location.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held July 28 at the corner of First Avenue SW and Third Street SW.
